Concealed with Art Simone

Concealed with Art Simone

Join our favourite drag queen, Art Simone as she puts on her detective cap, to solve a riddle and extract a confession from each guest, having their secret life exposed. You may recognise Art from her role as Kath Day-Knight, in the Kath and Kim Parody play, or being a diva on Ru Paul’s Drag Race Donwnunder, sashaying her way through Mardi Gras or maybe even have just seen her in her natural element in Geelong, but Art’s role as a private investigator, extracting a confessional, may be her most difficult role yet. For lovers of true crime, she has had a sit down kiki with Narelle Fraser, who has uncovered some of the most horrific crimes in the country, and a lady whose life is like the real life NCIS and specialises in autopsy. She’s had a gossip with Collingwood Football player, Mason Cox, a real life ghostbuster who prefers to be called a paranormal investigator, a stunt double for Idris Elba, a BDSM leather master who brought the smut, Bill Edgar the coffin confessor, A former Disney princess who has spilt the tea on life as a princess on a Disney Cruise, a former circus performer, a medium psychic, a witch (and yes he does practice witchcraft), a person exposing the catfish of the world, the largest snoopy collector in Australia, a lipstick wearing corporate type, now involved in taxidermy, a professional exposing the best and worst of plastic surgery, a former escort with secrets to tell, she lays it all bare (no we’re not talking nudes, get your mind out of the gutter). Who can forget Art Simone’s own sisterhood that have joined us, we unmasked (literally) one Art Simone’s closest judies, Etcetera Etcetera, and had the pleasure of being joined by Art’s own mother who is one fierce lady! Join us to uncover the puzzle and reveal some of the most obscure hidden lives.

I'm cleansing the palette with special guest HANNAH CONDA!

We get some piping hot tea on Hannah... in an alternate universe she was a stripper called Hot Chris. She brings a Concealed Weapon to do with the rug on her head, and the phone in her hotel room, AND she delivers the WORST soapbox in the short history of the palette cleanser.

BUT FIRST, I've done a shady deal in the Werribee KFC carpark...

A number of years ago she booked a one-way ticket to Australia, and never looked back! But this pole-dancing, author is concealing something, and although it may not be the best kept secret, it's the reason she will never leave the country.

We're having an identity crisis on the palette cleanser... Art has found that she can pass as several different people, and has been offered some pretty cash to do just that.

Time to lay off Katy Perry people! She's also a labubu hater, and we embrace that in this space. If we uncancel one celeb, we have to cancel three in their place, so that's EXACTLY what we're doing.

Plus a show and tell piece, made from revenge, smarties, and ...

iiiiit's another palette cleanser!

What's happened since we last caught up? I've car jacked someone dressed as Kath Day-Knight, and had an awkward confession from an EX instagram follower.

But it's not just about me, no, I've pulled a lock of mangled hair for ARTifacts and giving you my fail safe tip to shade ANYONE without them realising.

One of you lovely people have turned to me for advice about social media etiquette, of course...

Welcome to the first palette cleanser!

What's that? Babes, I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

If you've fallen into the recent Labubu trend, I have some WORDS for you! I'm going back into the personal artchives... it's real, raw, vulnerable and I HATE every second of it. If you were a chronic oversharer in the early days o facebook, you'll get it.
AND we've opened up the soapbox, which may be the worst idea in the histo...
